Naya Rivera is dating David Spade and apparently it’s not an April Fool’s joke


I have been gossiping professionally long enough to remember some of the beautiful famous women whom David Spade has date over the years. He’s a bit like Adam Duritz, the lead singer of Counting Crows, in that people see the women he dates and wonder what it is about him that’s attractive to them. I would guess Spade is funny, although if that’s the case his roles really haven’t shown that. He’s been with Heather Locklear, Lara Flynn Boyle, Pamela Anderson, Nicolette Sheridan and most recently Charlotte McKinney. That’s not even a comprehensive list. So there’s plenty of precedence for Spade pulling gorgeous women and now he’s with Naya Rivera, 30. Spade is 52 years old. The two were photographed cuddling in a pool in Hawaii. Spade is on vacation with Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider because they’re all on some comedy tour together. Rivera has a one year-old son with her ex, Ryan Dorsey, whom she split with late last year after two years of marriage. Spade has an eight year-old daughter with ex Jillian Grace, a 31 year-old Playboy model. Here’s more on their romantic jaunt in Hawaii. Apparently they met up there randomly and didn’t go together, but I side eye that account. Rivera and Spade seems to have been working together last year.

Aside from sharing a kiss, the eyewitness says Spade and Rivera were discreet. “The pair went for a short swim, hugged and had lots of body contact in the pool. They kept to one side of the pool where there was the most covering from prying eyes,” the eyewitness recalls. “Outside of the pool, they sat on lounge chairs and talked animatedly. They spent about an hour poolside together.”

“They were very happy,” the onlooker adds. “They looked pretty comfortable together.”

The eyewitness also tells ET that the two were spotted eating at Duke’s restaurant in Waikiki. “They were definitely out and about together,” the eyewitness notes.

Another source tells ET that Spade and Rivera’s relationship is “very casual and they had a fun time together.”

“Naya was in Hawaii with a friend and met up with David,” the source explains. “They have known each other for a little bit through friends.”

In addition to spending time with Spade, Rivera has been sharing selfies on Instagram this week of her posing in a sexy black bikini. “Cuz why not!” she captioned one of the pics.

In response to this story, Naya Instagrammed some stupid video about how the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are dating. We have photos of her getting up on David Spade in a pool at a resort where there normally would not be paparazzi. Of course they want us to know that they’re a thing and this isn’t just a weird rumor. For whatever reason, they’re either together or want us to think they are. I give it a couple of months. I don’t think this is a joke but a lot of other people are understandably wondering about it.

    He’s so unattractive.

    • Lightpurple says:

      Inside and out.

      • eggyweggs says:

        He looks like an awful ex of mine from when I had waaaaaay lower self esteem. Blech.

    • Esmom says:

      He is, and when I think of him with Sandler and Schneider all together…blech. Not enough sanitizer in the world to clean that mess up.

    • ElleBee says:

      The only time I’ve ever found him endearing was as the voice of Emperor Kuzco

      • Erinn says:

        He was a perfect Kuzco.

        Honestly, I listened to an interview of his (last year maybe?) and he actually seemed a lot more self aware than I’d expected he would. He called himself a “middling sitcom asshole” – he doesn’t seem to think he’s way better than he is, despite the people he associates with. Ultimately, he seems like someone who could genuinely benefit from some therapy.

    • Adrien says:

      Eh, he looks like Brad Pitt and Keith Urban and a little David Bowie. If he is a serious actor and not Joe Dirt, he’d be a heartthrob too.
      And why is this pairing shocking? David also dated Julie Bowen, Teri Hatcher, Krista Allen and Kristy Swanson.

      • V4Real says:

        You left out Carmen Electra

      • Dani says:

        They probably go for him because he’s funny and makes them feel better about themselves. Also….Joe Dirt is an amazing movie ok!! lol

      • Alexis says:

        I know, right? He isn’t ugly…I feel like his comedic persona as a whiny loser is making people feel he’s uglier than he is.

      • Twink says:

        He does NOT look like Brad. 😠

      • Sage says:

        IA , Twink! WTF, David is funny but, he does not look like Brad!

        As for Naya, I suppose her career is over, she needs to stay in the limelight and David is her only option.

  2. Nicole says:

    In other news Naya is still as thirsty as ever.

  3. ElleBee says:

    Maybe he…..eeh..i got nothing

  4. M. says:

    I don’t think it’s weird that David spade is dating these women…he’s probably got a nice bank account, most of the women he dates aren’t exactly beautiful….nayas face is jacked, she looks like she’s got two rocks on her chest, same with his ex Charlotte. In a world where Angelina Jolie married billy bob Thornton(another actor who lands beautiful women), anything is possible lol

  5. Anon says:

    Wow, I’m shocked see my age. I would have guessed she was around 40.

  6. Spunk says:

    hehehe…nice

  7. AreYouForReal? says:

    At least she got most of her old face back. For a minute there, she was looking like a Kardassian.

  8. Huckle says:

    Maybe they’re just boning.

  9. Karen says:

    I had a friend who saw this comedy tour, she said she was surprised because she thought he was the funniest.

    • StormsMama says:

      I saw him 10 years ago in Vegas and he was funny!
      Also HE IS LOADED. He’s been on a TON of successful shows: Just Shoot Me is heavily syndicated around the world. He was on Rules for raising my teenage daughter (or whatever it was called) after John Ritter died. And he did another show with Oliver Hudson. Also he has an epic (if questionable) movie resume thanks to his partnership with farley.

      TLDR He’s VERY WEALTHY

  10. Snowflake says:

    That video is so stupid! She’s really annoying to me

  11. lost american says:

    She is desperate and willing to do anything to be relevant in Hollywood.

  12. LA says:

    TBH? I heard his interview with Marc Maron and it made a little more sense to me how he pulls all these girls. He was funny and seemed really smart and charming.

  13. Harryg says:

    In his memoir Spade sounded like an immature jerk.

  14. detritus says:

    I would not let someone with those eyes near me with sharp objects.

  15. TheOtherSam says:

    Cheesy gossip bit: rumor had it the reason Spade got lucky with so many famous women is he was a major coke dealer in Hollywood. With the best stash. No other evidence to support.

    His sister-in-law is designer Kate Spade. Her (Kate’s) niece is House of Cards’ Rachel Brosnahan.

  16. Meander says:

    I have seen him around town, and have heard he is a really nice guy, and had been a real support to Heather Locklear when she was having problems. Saw him taking a stroll around a facility she was at years ago. I like him.

    • Happy21 says:

      Yeah, he always struck me as an all around nice guy. I remember the same support he showed for Heather Locklear just as friends.

  17. beauxblue says:

    I guess Spade must be a fantastic lover.

  18. Elgin Marbles says:

    I’m glad her face is finally settling in. She’s starting to look like herself again and not a JLo/Kardashian knockoff.

  19. Sandy says:

    David has given me lots of laughter over the decades, in his sitcoms career and movies, I love his personality, he has a dry sense of humour, self depreciation, I would describe it. He’s funny. Not bad looking either.

  20. Tig says:

    I think he’s funny in the shows I’ve seen him in. He was interviewed pretty extensively in that documentary about Chris Farley from a year or so ago- and he clearly mourns that loss. All that to say, if he’s a raging a#*hole, he hides it well.

  21. singtress says:

    I am going with my old standby: He must have a really big dick.

    • InsertNameHere says:

      Several years ago, that was the rumor…that the women show up for the money, but stay for the very large penis.
